“Low” has topped every chart including: iTunes, Billboard’s Top Digital download, Billboard Pop singles, Billboard Top R&B/ Rap singles, Billboard Top Rap singles, and countless others. This single features an instantly recognizable bangin’ beat, a signature T-Pain hook and a hot, lyrical flow from Flo Rida.
Describing how the song broke nationwide, DJ Montay said, “It started with DJ Khaled in Miami and I was playing it here in the ATL, and it took off from there.”
By 2006 DJ Montay assembled an impressive list of production credits, but it was the smash hit single “Walk it Out,” produced for fellow Oomp Camp member Unk, that solidified him as a household name. The song started on the radio in Atlanta in early 2006 and then eventually took off, peaking at number one on the Billboard R&B singles. It instantly became a club classic that had people running to dance floors all across America. The DJ Montay- produced remix, which featured Andre 3000, Unk, Jim Jones and Big Boi, became an instant hit in its own right as a digital download favorite.
Shortly after the breakthrough success, DJ Montay delivered another club banger “2 Step,” the follow- up single from Unk’s debut album “Beat’n Down Yo Block” distributed by Koch Entertainment. Its booming bass drops and unique melody reached the Billboard Top Five. And as with any other DJ Montay-produced hit, the remix featured appearances from big names like T-Pain, Jim Jones and E-40. Incredibly, “Walk it Out” and “2 Step” have generated over 2 million ringtone purchases combined.
Not one to rest, DJ Montay produced “Who the F*#k is that” by Konvict Music/ Jive Records late artist Dolla featuring Akon & T-Pain. He also produced “I’d Rather” for the Academy Award-winning group Three 6 Mafia and “Creepin” by Chamillionaire featuring Ludacris. His credits also include Ice Cube’s “It is What it Is” off of his “I Am the West” album, “Twisted” by Gorilla Zoe featuring Lil Jon and the irresponsibly catchy “Everybody Drunk” off of Ludacris' “Battle of the Sexes” album.
In addition he produced the hit record “Foolish” for Atlanta-bred rapper Shawty Lo and songs for the Ying Yang Twins, DJ Kay Slay and Sheek Louch from the Lox. His newer production credits include rapper T.I.’s “Can You Learn” off his “Trouble Man” album featuring R. Kelly, Lil Jon’s “Pop that P**$y” and a track for Memphis rapper 8 Ball.
Montay has assembled a production discography that can’t be messed with. His latest hits include “Mainstream Ratchet” and “So We Can Live” by 2 Chainz and “Money Can’t Buy” by Ne-Yo featuring Young Jeezy. He’s also responsible for producing popular songs like “Up Down” (Remix) by T-Pain, “Geronimo” by Clinton Sparks and “Mexico” by Cash Out.
